Stange weapons have washed up the stranger tides of the West Naval Yard, as the mysterious pirate from another realm, Esprit d'Cour, offers the denizens of Delta V spoils from his personal stash.

Bye Bye Big Varium

As of the newest update, 18K Varium promotion will ends. Deals like this don't come around often, so take advantage of this great value while you can!

Shoggoth’s Stash Arcade shop is now available at all ArcadeBots throughout Delta V! Will you be the first to catch the unique gold prize?

Bosses

Legendary Big Tuna and Legendary Captain Shoggoth are joining the roster of nearly unbeatable NPCs to test your skill a strategy. Plus, it's a great way to earn rating points! 

Balance

• Bounty Hunter - BHs still appear to be outclassed by Mages. Smoke has been improved to increase damage output.
  • Smoke Screen: Improves with every 3 Tech.

  • Field Commander: Added +10% crit chance; goes up by 3 Strength points per skill level
  • Frenzy: +8% health gain per level
  • Toxic Grenade: +5 damage per level; 100% damage; -10 energy cost
• Mercenary
  • Adrenaline Rush: +5% rage gain per level
• Bots
  • Infernal Android P and E price increase to 35000 Credits and 1495 Varium. These bots are way too good to be as cheap as they were.

  • Internal Android ExP (Energy main attack, physical special)
  • Kartherax’s Darkspawn: Curse of Kartherax duration reduced to 2, inflicts 100% damage on initial strike
